When did Gracie become a teenager? In addition to “sweet!” (pronounced, with attitude, like suh-weet!) she busted out today with two new phrases.

She was eating vanilla pudding that I made at dinner and she said, “Mummy? I don’t like your pudding.” “Oh, Gracie, I’m sorry about that.” “I love it!”

And then, as I tucked her in, I told her I’d take her to school tomorrow morning. She said, barely visible under all of her blankets, “You’ll take me to school? That rocks!”
